Crochet Bandana Free Pattern

Crochet Bandana Free Pattern

Hi everyone, this week I am bringing to you this lovely crochet bandana free pattern. I absolutely adore it. It is so feminine and delicate, and is crocheted very easily too. It can be crocheted by beginners and experts alike. This crochet bandana is also called “The Tatiana Headscarf”. I hope you enjoy this bandana tutorial which features granny squares.

Crochet Bandanna Free Pattern: a vintage vibe

This lovely bandana headscarf has a definite vintage vibe. Indeed, the granny squares automatically give a vintage look to any project. This traditional look is however counterbalanced by the lovely feminine colors which make this project quite modern. I love this type of crochet project, where tradition and modernity meet. Do you love these projects as much as I do? I am in love with this bandana!

Crochet bandanas are becoming really popular at the moment. I am in a very Spring mood right now, so wanted to crochet something in light colors. I also wanted to crochet this bandana in a more summery type of yarn, such as cotton or linen. Enter Lion Brand’s Coboo yarn. I cannot begin to express how much I love this yarn! Indeed, this is one of my favorites for Spring/Summer.

Coboo yarn is a delight to crochet with. It is considered a light 3 yarn, and is made of 50% cotton, and 50% rayon. It is super soft and such high quality! I have already used this yarn quite a few times, including when I crocheted these beautiful envelope purses. These little purses are really beautiful, and crocheted up so fast! I also used Coboo yarn to crochet The Summer Pink Poncho. Again, this is a great project to make for Spring and Summer.

Crochet Bandana Free Pattern: The Granny Design

I wanted to crochet a bandana headscarf that featured a more complex design than my previous bandana design. Although I love simple crochet projects, sometimes I do enjoy mixing it up a bit!

I love feminine colors and designs, and the two colors that I used for this project are just so beautiful. They match really well too! I find associating these two colors to create a granny square bandana is just perfect. Grey and pink match really well and look so feminine together.

This design comprises 6 granny squares, as well as two little granny triangles. Once assembled, these squares and triangles form the bigger triangle that is the bandana. Once these elements are sewed together, a chain arch edging is added to create a finished and delicate finishing touch. Two ties are later added on either side of the headscarf for ease of wear.

This is a simple, yet beautiful and detailed crochet bandanna. I hope you enjoy this tutorial as much as I enjoyed designing it. Let me know in the comments what you thought of this project. I always love your feedback!

Sew your 6 granny squares and 2 triangles together to form bandanna

Place your 6 granny squares and 2 triangles together like so to form a bandanna (as seen in picture).

Once you have placed all these elements together, sew these together using the mattress stitch.

Create border and chain arch edging

Once you have sewed all your elements together, you can start crocheting your border.

To crochet your border:

Attach your yarn to the top corner of your project.

Round 1: Ch 1, place a SC into each and every stitch all around the bandanna.

Once you reach the beginning of row 1, sl stitch to the first ch 1.

Round 2 (chain arch edging): You will be crocheting two different stitches across this round. Firstly, ch 1, and place a SC into each SC from previous row across the top of your bandanna. Once you finish this first side of the triangle (which should be the top side of the triangle), the stitch will change for the “V” section of the bandana.

Once you have finished your last SC, turn your work so as to work on the first side of the “V”.

Ch 3, sk a stitch, place a SC into the next stitch. Ch 3, sk a stitch, place a SC into the next stitch until you reach the other side of the V, where without interruption, just carry on with your pattern of chain arch edging.

Once you have gone all around your “V”, sl stitch to first ch 1 to close off round.

Row 3 (optional): Placing your project flat on a surface, count from the top center of your last row of SC. Count 10 stitches on either side of this center, and place a stitch marker at the center stitch, and both 10^th stitch either side of the center.

Once you have placed your stitch marker, ch 1, and turn your work so as to crochet your stitches along the top section of the bandanna.

Place a SC into each SC from the previous row until you reach the first stitch marker, where you will place your last SC.

Now place a HDC into next stitch 4 times, and then place a DC into next stitch 10 times, and then place a HDC into next stitch 4 times. Once you have placed these stitches, place a SC into next stitch until the end of the row.

Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.

Creating the bandanna ties

You will be creating 2 bandanna ties, one on each side of the project.

For the 1^st bandanna tie, attach your yarn to either top corner, and chain 35.

Now sl st through the 2^nd ch from hook, and place a slip stitch through every chain until you reach the end of the chain. Sl st to project to secure the bandanna tie, fasten off and tidy up your loose end.

Bandanna tie number 2: attach yarn to the other side of the project, and chain 35. Now sl st through the 2^nd ch from hook, and place a slip stitch through every chain until you reach the end of the chain. Sl st to project to secure the bandanna tie, fasten off and tidy up your loose end.
